Escape
Betwixt Two Suns: A True Tale of the Underground Railroad
in Illinois, by Carol Pirtle |
|
|
From Springfield: An
encore presentation of our interview with Author Carole Pirtle,
who discusses her research and writing of a true tale of
Illinois' Underground Railroad. She recounts the 1842
escape of Susan Richardson and her children, who with the help
of neighbor William Hayes escaped slavery in Randolph County.
But her escape was not without loss, for either Richardson or
Hayes. Pirtle's discovery of unknown letters and court
documents produced a book which recounts the price paid by the
escaping Richardson and her Underground Railroad
"conductor" Hayes. And it demonstrates that
Illinois, ostensibly a free state, was no haven to slaves nor
friend to those who would help them flee bondage.
